<< Shown Here: 3" Inch Thick Door Edge Upper And Lower Adjustable Tension Roller Style Door Latch:
SAF has this special heavy duty adjustable pressure roller closers produced by one of the worlds top manufacturers specifically for our solid wood doors. These rollers are built with the ability to fit doors that are 1"thick up to 8" thick with out special adapters or breech in strength of hold. Each door depending upon height and weight must have one or more pressure adjustable closer and strike plate. This allows the door to click shut and hold when the dead bolt lock is not set in the locked position.

on a close up photo of a raised grain finished 3" inch thick door edge. The roller is mortised in to the door edge and sealed. This allows it to be flush mounted and protected inside it own mortised pocket and is sealed from the elements. Shown: there are two mounting screws and two pressure adjustment screws
Shown Here Below: Close Up Photo Of Adjustable Tension Roller And Jamb Mounted Accepter
The roller is mortised in to the door edge as was shown above. This jamb mounted strike plate is designed to be mortised in to the jamb side directly in line with the door mounted roller to accept the roller when door is closed. The ramp allows for a easy close of the door. The steel indentation accepts and seats the roller.
The exact position of this steel strike plate determines the tightness of how much pressure the door blade is allowed to press against the door seals. The more pressure you set on the springs the harder it is to pull the door open. This seat also keeps the door set to its weather seals against the rabbeted stop. Once adjusted properly this insures a perfect seal against the elements every time. One of the best ways to go green and save energy.

It is adjustable to allow for the amount of force needed to be applied when pulling or pushing this door open or shut. This usually would be adjusted according to weather conditions in your area shuch as wind pressure or if you wished a particular amount of force needed to be applied to allow comfortable use of your door. This type of locking system will never lock you out with out your key.
Most door manufacturers design with two primary things in mind. Cutting their cost and how well each piece will fit in the shipping box
so you or your builder can assemble your new door on site. In order to cut cost they choose door thickness that are known in this industry as production standard. These door thickness are mostly under 2 1/4" thick and rarely solid structural timber. Most are veneers with so called engineered cores. This practice is again predicated on cost, not your security or longevity. This is usually done so cheap production locks and latches can be used from your local super lumber depot. This has proven to never the best for you and your families home security.
